in the naked capitalism links today there was this gem:
The Cleaner Air Spaces Act, a copy of which was obtained by Axios, directs the Environmental Protection Agency to provide grants of up to $3 million to state and local air pollution agencies and community organizations. Each cleaner air program would be required to provide a minimum of 1,000 filtration units to low-income households with vulnerable residents. The programs would also be required to provide educational materials on setting up clean air rooms and to advertise the public centers during wildfires.
thankfully, it was followed up with this part:
The Republican-led House Natural Resources Committee is marking up two bills on Tuesday aimed at improving forest management – reducing the amount of brush that serves as fuel for the blazes.
i will leave it up to you to ponder which course of action will be taken.
